Hi I'm 4weeks6days and counting down to first appointment at end of Jan. I found out about pregnancy at 10dpo,and confirmed with another test on first day af due. My bbs stopped being sore before af was due and aside from mild cramps (present from about 8dpo) I don't really have any other symptoms. I've not had any spotting or bleeding but other than that is there anyway I can tell I'm still pregnant and all is developing OK? I'm desperate for some reassurance! Thanks x

Haha I know what you mean! It's so scary isn't it! I had a positive test at 10dpo and waiting for af date was torture, I tested again then and a definite positive, the lines were nice and dark! I can't to a hpt everyday, it'd cost a fortune lol and besides I'm not sure how much that would help. Is this your first? I rang docs when I had second positive test, they gave me another number to call and they just took a few basic details and gave me an appt at end of the month. I have no idea at all what to expect from this appointment? Will your appt in 2weeks be your first appt? Do you have any pregnancy symptoms? Xxx

I had sore boobs and cramps between 7\8dpo and the boobs stopped being sore at about 13dpo (day before af so I was panicking!) tested on day of af and still positive despite boobs being OK, the cramps have continued but they're easing off now really. I felt really acidy /Sicky last night but generally OK today, no other symptoms really. Im off coffee and I'm usually a coffee addict lol. It's not turning my stomach it just doesn't go down well. The lack of symptoms is what's worrying me. I think I am bloated and also my boobs are slightly fuller, as they would be on my period, they are very blue Veiny too.......
When I made midwife appt they didn't mention anything about a scan, wonder if they will in appointment?
Your third! Congratulations! What do you have already (boys/girls)? Xx

Wouldnt worry too much about symptoms coming and going, thats perfectly normal!
Yeah the midwife will probably book your scan in your booking app. They do it differently in different places! Would be alot easier if they just had the same protocol for everywhere then there would be less confusion lol!
I have 2 boys, 7 and 4. Id actually really prefer another boy! I know wht im doing with boys and im a girl and wouldnt wish that on anyone haha! Although really im not bothered as long as everythings ok :).
What are you hoping for xxx

I'm peeing a lot, and have had lower back pain on and off, we're moving house tho so I put it down to that. I have actually been feeling nauseous late last night and this afternoon.
Have you got a midwife appt booked yet? Xx

Ooh thanks Wallis for explaining the process, it's scary and a long wait at the same time! Congratulations on your second! Did you have a boy or girl for you first? This is my first.

Hi girls hope it's ok to join in, think I've received my BFP today?? The only problem is in feeling period pains and have been for 3 days now. I'm booked in for an early scan dye to ectopic a few years ago. Are period pains normal at 5 weeks? X

Hi lily! I came from the January ladies group too! I have been feeling cramps on and off since 7/8dpo and they haven't really stopped they're generally mild but every now and then they are a bit stronger very low. I worry about this too but all my googling seems to suggest it's fairly normal. Did you have similar symptoms with your ectopic? (sorry to hear about ectopic but huge congratulations again on bfp) x

Hi Nicola, I don't remember any symptoms because didn't know I was pregnant at the time so wasn't looking for anything. I'm just so worried xx
